Longer Commute Times

Published —

Our commute to work has likely changed during the Covid-19 pandemic; however, we want to highlight the negative effect of long commutes. When, and if, you transition back to the office, it’s important to be aware of how long commute times may negatively impact your life.

Here are a series of articles, videos and other content that we have selected to highlight the ongoing struggle of social isolation, loneliness and disconnection that is amplified by longer commute times.
